Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery & Memorial, France

Yesterday we drove to Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery and Memorial in France. It was about a three hour drive from Baumholder. Most of our trips to France have been to towns just off the autobahn but on this trip we got to drive through quite a bit of countryside. The roads were winding and narrow and the buildings were very old. It was interesting to see real towns and not just tourist attractions.

This stretch reminded me of our home state of South Dakota

I love how there are trees planted on both sides of the road.

One of these days I intend to look up what those balls are in the trees.

We drove by too many French cemeteries to stop at so I took pictures out the car window as we went by.

We went by just as many churches

...and more cemeteries

This entire road was about the size of a normal lane in the U.S. Good thing we didn't meet very many vehicles!
